Thanks Jay,

    Yes, I am looking at the sort that has reversible plates such that
    it will cast round ingot, half round ingot and sheet ingots. 

    As I'm reading today's posts, I've been looking at the UK suppliers
    for these melting dishes John and yourself mentioned but am not sure
    what I'm looking for. What are they made of? There are things called
    crucibles, salamanders, scorifiers and fletchers!!! One company is
    selling a "melting dish" for platinum made of some sort of silica.
